The code that produces failure:

http = httplib.HTTPConnection('localhost', 8080)

finally:

The dictionary I get as request.args is empty.
My apologies, I was thinking about POST, not PUT. request.args
will always be empty in the case of a PUT. This is because
twisted.web.http.Request does the following:
- parse the querystring (note that your PUT has no querystring)
- if the request method is POST
- parse the request body
Long story short, a PUT gets ignored when it comes to parsing
and populating request.args. I've never run into this problem
because I don't PUT 'application/x-www-urelencoded' data, only
JSON or text/xml, which don't get handled as request.args anyway.
The solution is, in your render_PUT method, to do something like
this:
from twisted.web import http, resource
class MyResource(resource.Resource):
allowedMethods = ('PUT',)
isLeaf = True
def render_PUT(self, request):
parameters = http.parse_qs(request.content.read(), 1)
# proceed using parameters instead of request.args
Obviously, this is a fairly trivial piece of code, but if you
feel strongly about this issue, please consider filing a ticket
on twistedmatrix.com, requesting that a PUT, with a Content-Type
of 'application/x-www/urlencoded' or 'multipart/form-data' be
parsed into request.args just as a POST would be.
Hope this helps,
